Vernon brings business, volunteer experience
Reprinted from The Gazette, Thursday, October 25, 2007, page 7A

I enthusiastically support Monica Vernon for Cedar Rapids City Council from District 2 for two primary reasons. First, she is a successful businesswoman who has built a strong small business in our city. This experience will provide an important perspective to the city council.

Secondly, she is a tireless volunteer in our community.
 She has willingly assumed many leadership roles and has participated in countless projects for the good of Cedar Rapids.
 Our city is lucky to have Vernon. Let’s give her another opportunity for community service by electing her to the Cedar Rapids City Council.
